Rise and Fall Of WCW

[Michrome 0]

Where to start: 1993

 

1993 was a horrible year for WCW, with some of the most laughably horrible angles in history. However, there is a story to be told about WCW in 93, specifically, the story of Flair coming back to save the company. Key things to show:

 

DISC 1

 

1) Sting-Vader Feud:

--clips from various matches

--ALL the White Castle of Fear stuff

--the volleyball at the beach angle.

--As for the match, the “White Castle Of Fear” Strap Match from Superbrawl was great and fitting for this.

 

2) The return of Flair:

--Show various clips of fans chanting “we want Flair” while Flair was in the WWF.

--Someone can explain what happened with Sid, preferably Arn.

3) Hulk Hogan comes to WCW

That is a good idea. But I want more matches. I generally buy dvd's for wrestling matches, not confidential style pieces featuring lots of promos or clips.

In 93?

 

Then what the hell was that Black Scorpion angle? You mean that actually drew?

Um....

Black Scorpion was in 1990.

[Guest DR PHIL]

I think he means 1993 wasn't the only time they made their WORST mistakes.

And this couldn't have went into the "Rise and Fall of WCW, DVD" thread?!?!?

 

Fuck! Just like all these "best of, worst of, underrated of 2003" threads. I knew once that "End of the year" thread showed up 15 other copy cats would appear.

[Michrome 0]

I put it elsewhere because that other thread was pretty much 90% smarmy bullshit about how Vince would blame Bret for everything or whatever. I just wanted to hear some ideas.

--Goldberg vs. Hulk Hogan (World Title), Wrestlers talk about what a mistake this was.

With Goldy on the WWE pay? Not a chance.

The fingerpoke of doom would have to be mentioned.

They can talk about the *timing* of the match being wrong (i.e. on Nitro as opposed to PPV). They can make up some fluff to blame Hogan, or something.

Include some of the work between Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio, Raven, and Perry Saturn in '99. And maybe the comeback of the cruiserweight division in late '00 and early '01 thanks to Shane Helms, Chavo Guerrero, Elix Skipper, Kid Romeo, Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio, Shannon Moore, Evan Karagias, Jamie Noble, Jimmy Yang, and Kaz Hayashi.

As IF WWE cares about the guys from 2001. They'll just mention Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman and Chavo.

 

 

Evan who? LOL

It's all the spaceship's fault. It wasn't ready for that big of a push.

[Red Baron 0]

Watch they throw in Giant vs Nash, where Nash dropped the Giant on his head.

As long as I get a laugh out of it...

 

 

I want some Hogans Friends crap as a minor downfall from 1994. Of course plenty of DoD will be in that too until the nWo makes WCW rise.

[Red Baron 0]

I would like to see Benoit winning the WCW belt before he left, and Benoit vs Bret Hart as well

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0]

Since they're actively sucking up to Bret 24/7 I expect Bret/Benoit and steel plate to be on there.

[razazteca 0]

Will they include the Brett Hart promo where Brett & Scott Steiner beat up Goldberg on the Thunder before Starcade?
